Remember when I gave the FeedLounge guys a little bit of crap for their recent downtime? The next morning, I shot Alex and Scott an email:

Something I meant to write about but didn’t: I might suggest registering FeedLounge.info as a wholly off-site, emergency-case info site about FL outages. I have rocksmyfaeoff.info on a whole other server and my folks know to check there when the site’s unreachable.

If you want to do it and want a place to host it, I’d be happy to host it gratis.

They took my suggestion and made it awesome. FeedLounge.info is now going to be a status log for FeedLounge, which will be helpful on the quite rare occasions when FL.com is unreachable. Plus, feedlounge.info is faster to type than feedlounge.com/support/status/.

Best as I can tell, they’ve automated it as much as is possible, which is always a good thing. Status is necessary, but status over progress is never a good idea [unless you work for the government, and then it's SNAFU].

Happy to be a tiny part of it, guys.
